Yes, he's a possibility, and that's the site for shipping into Victoria. The actual fiche might provide a bit more information, but not always. Should give his occupation, which could help. I'll be at the local FHS library next week on duty, can have a look at the fiche then for you.

"I'll be at the local FHS library next week on duty, can have a look at the fiche then for you." If you could Judy I'd be eternally grateful!! :D If it shows his occupation as Iron Stone Mason, then I'd be more inclined to think it's the right John. If it doesn't show his occupation then I'll just have to figure out some other way of finding him. At least you've managed to find Dorothy and the children for me, and an extra son to boot!! :D I've ordered Elizabeth's death certificate in Australia today, hopefully that will provide a lot more information regarding children. If I'm lucky it may give me more insight into John too, although I'm not holding my breath! Take care, Rob.
